Agreed. I have not used my d3 in about 7 months. I hooked it up again last week and was blown away by how much better its navagating my home. And the cleaning map it pretty awesome.
A year ago the Neato salesman advised me to get the D3 instead of D75 since they were both within my budget but the D3 software could be updated. I didn't think much of it and went with the D75 instead. Now Neato updates all connected series with no go lines? Damn.
Neato sent me a replacement D4 in exchange for my D5 that failed. Found the D4 doesn't clean as well without the corner brush. All my edges had dirt. Gotta have that edging brush. Not sure why they even make one without it. Huge difference! Great detailed video!!
This video is great comparing the models. Exactly what I was looking for! I currently have a NEATO XV Signature Pro. Bought it early 2015. At the time it was the best. After 3.5 years the battery capacity was so low it had to recharge 3 times to finish the living room (in a small apartment). So bought a replacement battery, which appears to have been of lesser quality because since late 2019 (after 1.5 years) it has the same issue. It recharges up to 2 times but does not always clean everywhere it needs to go. So I was looking what NEATO is offering today. One problem I have with my current XV (apart from its battery problems) is that it is bad cleaning close to walls. I have rabbits, which unfortunately do droppings in the living room. The XV is good at picking up the droppings except those close to the wall. So I am glad this is a lot better, I noticed in reviews that the brush is moved way more to the side. And the additional side brush is something I definitely want. So that means D5 or higher. The battery life appears to be longer on these new models as well (although I can't remember the official battery life of the XV S Pro). I like a high battery capacity because the battery capacity will reduce over time. The zone cleaning convinced me to go for the D7. The good thing about rabbits is that they don't do their droppings all around the room, just in a certain spot. So when I just want this spot cleaned I could just tell it to clean the 'Rabbit droppings' zone. Currently I have to pick up the XV Signature Pro, put it there and do 1 or 2 spot cleans. Is this feature still a D7 only features or has is also been given fo the D6 and D5 by software updates? Just wondering: Do these have a completely different charging base or is it compatible to older XV? Because if it is I could use the one from my XV S P as a secondary base.
This channels' extremely helpful videos convinced me to get a Botvac D5 to replace my dying old Roomba 770. Thank you so much for your breakdowns, comparisons, and demos of the most relevant differences between all the makes and models of vacuum robots. Your efforts are greatly appreciated! 😉
thanks for putting the important information into the description too. The video itself is really well made and compact, not wasting time but still understandable. Good job!
I'm going to buy my first robot vacuum soon, and was leaning to the d7. Butt after watching this video i realise that the d3 have all the features i was interested in from the d7 :D Thanks! great video!
I really appreciate a company like Neato who continues to push updates to older bots and allows you to upgrade their lower-end models with their higher-end parts. My D3 keeps getting better and better.
Just a heads up for the next few videos. I have 2 reviews coming up next of new upright vacuums that just came in that I need to do before a big 7 vacuum competition video. I also need to get a full review of the Vacmaster, the winner of the shop vac competition done. I have a cool test with the Dyson V10 and a specs comparison of Sebo Vacuums. I am open to suggestions as well for what to do after that!
Would you mind doing some comparison test from let's say the v10 vs other corded vacuums? I know they're different, but for example "Dyson v10 costs x amount, where as the Shark costs x amount less but doesn't have Y." Or something alike. I'd like to see the best of cordless vs low end to high end corded vac to see where some things land. Even mid tier cordless comparing to lowest to highest on corded. And add cost associated with it. If one compares to another but costs 20% more with only 5% more cleaning power. Sorry, kinda rambling, but hopefully you understand lol.
I honestly think the V10, and to a lesser extent the V8 is so far and above any other cordless vacuums out there, that others really arent even worth it regardless of the price.
TIP: You can add or subtract No-Go lines at any time. This kind of makes it so you can have the Neato only do certain rooms sometimes. I have it clean in the middle of the night. Our kitchen needs it everyday, but the carpeted living room and office only need it once a week. So, once a week I remove the no-go lines for those rooms. Kind of a workaround for the lower models not getting the "Zones" feature. Just put the base in the area you want done all the time, or most often.
Based on your videos just upgraded to a D3 which I got on a flash sale for $199 from a Euphy 30c. Turns out I really needed the no go zones. You can upgrade the battery for $69 and the filters (2 pack $29). Still going strong after 2 plus years. Great video as usual.
We just got a D5 and it seems to be a very good addition for daily cleaning. It is a bit noisy but other than that i like neato and their policy of updating the lower end robots as well. Recently updated and got floor plan and no go lines. That kind of costumer first thinking will create loyal costumers that will be good for sales in the long run.
Just bought a D3 because of this review. Loved it. Thanks for the videos! An interesting test would be to compare wattage or energy usage of the vacuum to per time running (Watts/ Hour) to price out any many times per week you should run your vacuum?
I have a D7, I find the Spiral brush extremely loud on wooden flooring and caused vibration noise. I bought the combo brush From the other models and it reduces the vibration noise massively, I’d love to see actual comparisons of decibels.
In regards to climbing room barriers - how do these compare? The D7 lists it as a feature in the amazon link but the others don't. I have a couple rooms that have a significant raised threshold but really would like a robot vacuum that can do the whole home while I'm away.
its been three months since you asked this question with no response... I have the same question/issues with thresholds... have you pulled the trigger on one? if so, which one and how do you like it?
Do you have any links to the Spiral Combo Brush that are sold separately that we could get? Thanks a lot for this amazing review! Keep the great and valuable comparisons coming!
Thank you for the comparison. I have an older Neato XV-21. I have been reading reviews on the newer Neatos and my concern is there appears to be a lot of problems with the software. I hope Neato will correct these issues. I really like my Neato and was hoping to purchase another one one of these days. Also, my XV-21 is eight years old. I believe that the newer connected models have reliability issues with their hardware as well. I don’t know if they are making them differently or what.
I would like to see a head to head comparison with the D7 vs. the older Botvac Connected. Only 1 or 2 more options with the D7, but how about performance? You can save $150 with the older version. I have owned the D5 for 3.5 years and it has broken down 4 times and the 4th go around it was done for good, per what SquareTrade informed me on. SquareTrade is reimbursing me for the full retail price. Buying a Protection Plan is a must have!
Dollar for dollar, what is the best Neato to get for general cleaning of a home with laminate floors and some average rugs? One pet that doesn't shed much too. I just want good daily cleaning of my floors. What do you recommend? And if not Neato, what line/model?
very good video saves me a ton of time reading all the details thanks also can u also try to do a similar video for the ecovacs DEEBOT vacuums, thanks again
Thanks for the video, its was extremely helpful and definitely more useful than the neato site for comparison. Just throwing it out there and wondering if you knew due to your knowledge if other neato models will be getting zone cleaning as I find that very useful but hefty price tag to jump from the D5 to the D7. Thank you
Thanks for your informative videos! What happens if your wifi signal is spotty, can I turn off the "Connected" features and just make it work by pushing a button?
In the future with robot vacuums, can you mention the performance on black rugs/carpet? It seems that's rarely mentioned in robot vacuum reviews, but it needs to be mentioned. I think Neato vacuums work fine on black rugs/carpet, but other vacuums, like the Xiaomi/Roborock, do not unless you manually cover the stair/cliff sensors.
I got D5 ($380 at amazon) and it works pretty well. And I don't get the advantage of buying D6&7 when thinking about their price. Battery doesn't matter much since it can find its charger, and you can replace a brush if you want within $40.
Julian del Prado it's very possible they work with the manufacturer to get free or demo models to test. The company gets free exposure, so it might be worth it.
I just bought a D5 yesterday, I was chatting with NEATO as the similarities between the 4 and 5 are minimal (except for side brush) and some accounts say the 4 is better. They assured me that it is not better and the unit is buried on their website. BEst Buy price matched the D5 for me as Frys electronics has them on sale for $399
Vacuum Wars thank you. It’s now down to $379.99. I have an i7+ that I use mostly upstairs and love zone cleaning but would love a 2nd robot vacuum for downstairs so I think the battery life will be fine doing one floor. Your reviews helped me decide to try Neato. Hoping the D5 is a great choice. Thanks.
Great video, thanks! Quick question: What defines a multi-story home? My whole house is one floor, except there is a step down to the living room. Would I be able to pick the vacuum up and place it down the one step and have it do that room as well, or would that need a separate docking station?
Yeah that would be a multi story home. Any tme you have to pick it up it messes up the calibration. Dont get me wrong it will still clean but most of the cool mapping features wont work.
@@chamerrrr Yes thanks! Figured that out. Did not find such information readily apparent. I think at some point I will upgrade to the double-capacity battery so it can do my whole basement.
Very very helpful, THANK YOU! I received my D3 today and am loving the fact that you can self upgrade the filter & battery but have a question. I’m getting the quiet + turbo modes in the app for this model...is it true for the D3 or is it an app glitch?
This video may need to be updated. I also have the Eco mode on my D3 now as of today. It's probably another feature that has been added to the app for the D3 model, just like No-Go lines, etc.
I work at Best Buy and I just got a coupon to get the neato D7 for $200 instead of $830 I really wanted A robot vacuum but do you think it's worth it that's really what I'm worried about
I would say that the side brush is quite necessary, at least with me BotVac. The robot's brush ring loosened and now the brush doesn't work, and the robot likes to stay away from the walls, missing table legs, the walls and other stuff.
When will the app with the map come out for the D3? I was able to get it for 256 from home depot but apparently, on black Friday it was for sale for 199.99 dollars.
I actually think that the multiple floor plan update has already arrived on my D7... However the Zone cleaning has not yet, and i cannot wait for that update!
SO I just bought a D4 at BBB as they price matched the Amazon price of $392 plus a $100 gift card, on the way home I stopped by Best Buy and they had a D5 that they priced match for $399 so I bought that one too, so now I have 2 units still in boxes wondering if the $100 price difference is worth it? Is the 4 and 5 that much different? Also Best Buy offers a 2 year warranty for $80 that BBB did not.
Given that all most a year has passed since you posted has any new updates like cleaning zones been made the the rest of the robots in the line up like the D7
When I bought the D3 years ago-----I brought it home----it didn't work-----went back----got another one----it didn't work ---finally the 3rd one worked. I tried to upgrade to the D7 ----ordered it from Bed Bath and Beyond----it was delivered---and did not work------I spent endless amounts of time with the agents ---finally returned it-----got a second one shipped-----it did not work------I just brought it in and got my money back . My 4th D3 works fine.
Friendly info for anyone wondering...I just spoke with Neato Tech Support about the D3 "no-go marker" update. Sounds like that will roll out late Dec, early Jan.
So if the side brush isn't needed, you still need to carry the robot to a different floor even if it has multi plans, and the fact all the other parts are replaceable, looks like the D4 is about the best you need to go unless you want the side brush and go with the D5 . The replaceable battery they sell for these are all the same so I am guessing any of them are upgradable to 120 mins. What I don't get is why is the spiral combo brush flat and the combo brush is the one that is spiral. Plus their website says the normal one is the "best" while the sprial one is "great". That doesn't say much.
i am making a robot vacuum with exhaust that pushes the air back into the intake so there's no need for filters ,or pollutants and less wasted energy so it will only need a battery half the size of a conventional vacuum. the robot will also have a sanitaire style beater bar for good carpet cleaning.
Have a D5 and a D7 , the D5 is perfect never any problems always working never gets stuck and always finds it's way to the charging station ! The D7 on the other hand is a complete disaster when it comes to getting stuck in corners and even in the middle of the floor without anything around it , finding it's way back to the charging station ? Forget that , i have tried 8 times to get it to do a complete clean ( it needs this to be able to get a map that you can use for marking boundary's ) but at some point it fails everytime.. Tried changing place of the D5 and D7 for a week and the D5 did it's work found it's way home every single day in D7 territories .. The D7 found places to get stuck or lost where the D5 never has had any problems !! Conclusion don't spend the extra money on a D7 !!
That is odd, I have never had that issue with our D7 and I cant think of a reason that the D7 would be different than the others since they all have the same basic software/hardware. It could be a lemon?
I had the same problem...it was the map thing....when pressing a button on the vacuum for standard cleaning (no map reference and without no go lines) it worked perfectly, and navigation is very good....later after mapping the house and later referencing on the map it was going in circles and in a kind of loop...having trouble cleaning...later I updated the last version with zone cleaning...and you can see the difference in navigation...it works a little better.... The support from Neato is a disaster...bunch of idiots trying to keep me busy experimenting something that actually doesn't work....and then I asked it they are going to replate or repair the vacuum or shoud I throw it out the window...I got a new laser changed after it broke...only 3 months of using the vacuum. Dont know why I paid 899€ for no go lines and now every model has it? A big waste of money and thinking of never buying a Neato product again. Btw, your channel is amazing and with great and detail info about the robots!!
As an aussie. I noticed the d85 and I think the d80 were being sold here on a neato website in Australia. They are a cheap unit. Seems to fit in around the d4 and d5 models. Can't quite remember the battery life and brushes and all that. I think it had the d7 software on purchase, just with cheaper parts. Something like that anyway
My neato was doing perfect pattern navigation but since last two months it has started doing randomly.That way it takes more time to clean so charge get exhausted soon.I have two floors house,so I pick it up every time.Is that the reason?

Totally Agree! @Vaccum Wars you should work for their marketing team contract lol
Very impressed with Neato updating their lower-tier models, rather than pushing you to buy a new one.
Yeah it's a surprisingly decent thing to do.
@@VacuumWars anything about the botvac connected? Will it get the separate room cleaning with an update?
Yeah but they all look like plastic slabs :( wish the D7 had a blue silver cap just like the previous generation...

@@VacuumWars What vacuums corded can you say are equivalent to v10 but for less money?

Neato makes the best robot vacuum. I have an XV-21 that is still going, and the D3 I got does my downstairs. Life changing robots
Awesome to hear about the longevity issue from a long time owner. Its a hard thing to test so testimonials are important!
How how is the vx21 compared to the D3? Are they a lot quieter? I have a VX 11 and it's pretty noisy.
Thank you for the excellent and streamlined information review. It helps me make my decision.
Looking forward to ‘Vacuum Wars’ reviews of the upcoming D8, D9, and particularly D10 with HEPA filter.
Very helpful in my purchasing decision and purchased the D7 yesterday.
Based on your videos just upgraded to a D3 which I got on a flash sale for $199 from a Euphy 30c. Turns out I really needed the no go zones. You can upgrade the battery for $69 and the filters (2 pack $29). Still going strong after 2 plus years. Great video as usual.
You have the best robot vac reviews. Bravo Zulu!!
Still using my D3 for around 5 years. Use it on the upstairs while my Roomba S9+ cleans the main floor. Still really like the D3 though.
You've made a mistake with the brushes, right? Spiral are the ones that are shown for D3-D5 but they are only available on D6 and D7, right?
SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU for this review!!
Thank you!
We just got a D5 and it seems to be a very good addition for daily cleaning. It is a bit noisy but other than that i like neato and their policy of updating the lower end robots as well.

I also appreciate knowing the difference between suction power compared to the roomba i7
Thanks!
Do you have any idea of the differences with the D3 Connected Pro and the regular D3 Connected?
Thanks. Very detailed video. What is the suction power of each of them?
I would like to see a comparison between the cheaper brush that’s in D3 to D5 against the brush that’s in the more expensive D6 and D7.

how is the cleaning with neato D5 compared to D3 as the D5 has the edge brush?

I just bought a D5 yesterday, I was chatting with NEATO as the similarities between the 4 and 5 are minimal (except for side brush) and some accounts say the 4 is better. They assured me that it is not better and the unit is buried on their website. BEst Buy price matched the D5 for me as Frys electronics has them on sale for $399
Thank you!!!
Best Buy has the D4 and D5 on sale for $399 and the D6 for $599. With the update is the D6 worth the $200 price jump?
The battery life is a concern, if you can live with the shorter life the I think there is no need for the upgrade.

Does the neato d5 have manual clean?
Isn't the battery interchangeable to so you can pretty much make it the same
In the UK Have botvac connected software update says not suitable for d3 d5 how do i know which model I have?
hi , nice videos :)
i checked Neato website and the zone cleaning is still not available .. any news about this ? it is almost Christmas :)
Not sure, I just bought a D3 so I should know as soon as it happens.
Does the Neato have a remote control option?
What about the d3 pro. Is that different from the connected
I think I may buy the Neato D5 instead of the Roborock S5 now that I know the D5 now has no go lines

Yeah that would be a multi story home. Any tme you have to pick it up it messes up the calibration. Dont get me wrong it will still clean but most of the cool mapping features wont work.
Have you reviewed yet the Eureka floor Rover versatile or Bissell air ram?
No but I almost certainly will, I keep looking around for a good price on one.
What if I buy a D4, and I want to vacuum my different levels? Is it still able to?
Yes, simply tap the button on the D4
@@chamerrrr Yes thanks! Figured that out. Did not find such information readily apparent.
I think at some point I will upgrade to the double-capacity battery so it can do my whole basement.
Very very helpful, THANK YOU! I received my D3 today and am loving the fact that you can self upgrade the filter & battery but have a question. I’m getting the quiet + turbo modes in the app for this model...is it true for the D3 or is it an app glitch?
This video may need to be updated. I also have the Eco mode on my D3 now as of today. It's probably another feature that has been added to the app for the D3 model, just like No-Go lines, etc.
I work at Best Buy and I just got a coupon to get the neato D7 for $200 instead of $830 I really wanted A robot vacuum but do you think it's worth it that's really what I'm worried about
Totally not worth it but I'll take that coupon :D
I would say that the side brush is quite necessary, at least with me BotVac. The robot's brush ring loosened and now the brush doesn't work, and the robot likes to stay away from the walls, missing table legs, the walls and other stuff.
When will the app with the map come out for the D3? I was able to get it for 256 from home depot but apparently, on black Friday it was for sale for 199.99 dollars.
Thats sounds like a crazy good deal!
Well the update came out today. Who knew.
Not sure the differences really justify the higher cost past the D4. Especially seeing as the brush, and filters on that can be upgraded.
comparisons on the different roller brushes .
I actually think that the multiple floor plan update has already arrived on my D7... However the Zone cleaning has not yet, and i cannot wait for that update!
Cool! when I talked to them they didnt have an exact date, either way its good to know. Thanks!
Price different on Amazon vs Best Buy is big. Check both before buying
Thuy Thuy and Canadian tire
SO I just bought a D4 at BBB as they price matched the Amazon price of $392 plus a $100 gift card, on the way home I stopped by Best Buy and they had a D5 that they priced match for $399 so I bought that one too, so now I have 2 units still in boxes wondering if the $100 price difference is worth it? Is the 4 and 5 that much different? Also Best Buy offers a 2 year warranty for $80 that BBB did not.
Given that all most a year has passed since you posted has any new updates like cleaning zones been made the the rest of the robots in the line up like the D7
When I bought the D3 years ago-----I brought it home----it didn't work-----went back----got another one----it didn't work ---finally the 3rd one worked. I tried to upgrade to the D7 ----ordered it from Bed Bath and Beyond----it was delivered---and did not work------I spent endless amounts of time with the agents ---finally returned it-----got a second one shipped-----it did not work------I just brought it in and got my money back . My 4th D3 works fine.
I clicked on the links and from what I gathered, is that the D5 is cheaper and better than the d4.
If I’m wrong please correct me
Hi you tell me what is Neato botvac D85
Friendly info for anyone wondering...I just spoke with Neato Tech Support about the D3 "no-go marker" update. Sounds like that will roll out late Dec, early Jan.
Very good info! Thanks for posting!
@@VacuumWars I got the email from neato today and updated adding no-go to my D3 it also got turbo/eco option as well.
So if the side brush isn't needed, you still need to carry the robot to a different floor even if it has multi plans, and the fact all the other parts are replaceable, looks like the D4 is about the best you need to go unless you want the side brush and go with the D5 . The replaceable battery they sell for these are all the same so I am guessing any of them are upgradable to 120 mins. What I don't get is why is the spiral combo brush flat and the combo brush is the one that is spiral. Plus their website says the normal one is the "best" while the sprial one is "great". That doesn't say much.
I'm debating between Neato D5 & Roborock S5. Which one of them would you recommend & why? Appreciate your response. Thanks in advance.
I am also deciding between the two.
Looking at the D3. Is it a better buy than the Roomba 690?
Absolutely.
i am making a robot vacuum with exhaust that pushes the air back into the intake so there's no need for filters ,or pollutants and less wasted energy so it will only need a battery half the size of a conventional vacuum. the robot will also have a sanitaire style beater bar for good carpet cleaning.
this video says the D5 has turbo mode, but your other video with the D5 days it does not have turbo mode...
Why is neato trying to push the d4, d6 and d7 ? Why not the d5?
I had the same question so I called them, The differences between the 4 and 6 is more then the 4&5 or 5&6
I ended up buying the d6 and it does a excellent job!
Have a D5 and a D7 , the D5 is perfect never any problems always working never gets stuck and always finds it's way to the charging station ! The D7 on the other hand is a complete disaster when it comes to getting stuck in corners and even in the middle of the floor without anything around it , finding it's way back to the charging station ? Forget that , i have tried 8 times to get it to do a complete clean ( it needs this to be able to get a map that you can use for marking boundary's ) but at some point it fails everytime.. Tried changing place of the D5 and D7 for a week and the D5 did it's work found it's way home every single day in D7 territories .. The D7 found places to get stuck or lost where the D5 never has had any problems !! Conclusion don't spend the extra money on a D7 !!
That is odd, I have never had that issue with our D7 and I cant think of a reason that the D7 would be different than the others since they all have the same basic software/hardware. It could be a lemon?
I think Rhi’s may be 5ghz WiFi’s connected?
I had the same problem...it was the map thing....when pressing a button on the vacuum for standard cleaning (no map reference and without no go lines) it worked perfectly, and navigation is very good....later after mapping the house and later referencing on the map it was going in circles and in a kind of loop...having trouble cleaning...later I updated the last version with zone cleaning...and you can see the difference in navigation...it works a little better....
The support from Neato is a disaster...bunch of idiots trying to keep me busy experimenting something that actually doesn't work....and then I asked it they are going to replate or repair the vacuum or shoud I throw it out the window...I got a new laser changed after it broke...only 3 months of using the vacuum.
Dont know why I paid 899€ for no go lines and now every model has it? A big waste of money and thinking of never buying a Neato product again.
Btw, your channel is amazing and with great and detail info about the robots!!
Just got my Neato, but dont know, how to send it back to base manualy. Is there any functional buttom on device or via app?
I've noticed the d4 is about $50 more expensive than the d5 where I live. Why is this? The d5 seems like it should be the pricier one
Im seeing the same thing online too. Hopefully the vacuum master can answer this!
Good comparison! What about botvac d85 ? to which "D" he belongs ?
As an aussie. I noticed the d85 and I think the d80 were being sold here on a neato website in Australia.
They are a cheap unit. Seems to fit in around the d4 and d5 models. Can't quite remember the battery life and brushes and all that.
I think it had the d7 software on purchase, just with cheaper parts.
Something like that anyway
You can control neato with Apple watch?
Does the neato d5 have Manual clean?
So why did I pay for the D7 then? wtf is so different about it.
D5 just dropped to 390 on Amazon lol
Peter Joseph go away 😂
Wished my Neato had the ability to detect pet MESS.
My neato was doing perfect pattern navigation but since last two months it has started doing randomly.That way it takes more time to clean so charge get exhausted soon.I have two floors house,so I pick it up every time.Is that the reason?
Does the neato d5 have manual remote control?
